I do like this place. However, the fritate was a bit old along with the thumbrint cookie, while their cappuccino came in a quarter sized cup; much smaller than their latte, which was unexpected and not satisfying.The kiwi strawberry muffin was excellent along with their mini cheesecake.Soup was okay, too.Ambiance was nice, and we drove out of our way for their gluten-free bread, which uses one of the best recipes we have found anywhere. It's very heavy on the nuts, which is fantastic.Place is pricey, which I understand with the ingredients that they use, but for that price, please provide a large cappuccino and fresher baked goods.

They have a sandwich of the day. I tried it and it was delicious. It made me think about what the sandwich of the day was like yesterday and what it might be like tomorrow. I wish they offered the sandwich of the yesterday too, then I could compare them. Maybe the sandwich I got that day was the same as the day before. This one sandwich just keeps having it's day. If that's the case, I'd prefer more transparency. Like instead of sandwich of the day, it should be sandwich of today and the last two days. I guess it's good to be present and not harp on the past, but that seems unfair to historians and all those restaurants that still have "people love us on Yelp" signs from 2022 and earlier.What I really want to know, is if a sandwich of the day has been able to have it's day for a full year. That'd be real impressive. There's a reason they don't have a man or woman of the day award. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if the sandwich I got that day became the sandwich of the year. It was so good!

This is a wonderful little local place for a quick stop to recharge. Great menu and wonderful coffee.We had the avocado toast and frittata which came with their own pickled sides. Delicious!The shop owner was happily answering our questions and was very welcoming.We ended up purchasing the candied lemon peel from their little shop with local products. The jams are going to have to be revisited next time.Definitely coming back.

Amazing breakfast of avocado toast on some of the best bread, really rich and delicious yogurt, scone and vegan frittata. The quality of ingredients used in their food is exceptional; you can taste it in the food. It’s just a short walk from Cannery Row and totally worth it. We bought their summery strawberry jam after tasting it in their cannery annex which has an incredible variety of jams. Wish I could find something like this closer to home.Vegetarian options: My son who is vegan would LOVE this place. So many great choices for him.

I really wanted to like this place, I really did. The staff is incredibly friendly and the outdoor seating is great. But unfortunately that’s where the praise ends. We got the seeded bread, avocado toast, frittatas, tofu sandwich, and the bowl. The food is quite bland and dry, and the seeded bread tastes like bark. The coffees are decent enough if that’s all you want. The tofu sandwich was honestly the only good thing our group ate, so I’d recommend get that. The hot sauce collection they have are really good though, so there’s that.

Well, the food is healthy but rather flavorless and bland. I like the IDEA of eating there - organic, vegetarian, homemade and love the Happy Girl products, but the menu is not all that exciting compared to other cafes like this. Although the coffee drinks are good. Cookie and baked goods not so much. Also, I don’t remember it looking quite so much like a delivery warehouse - the love and care from this brand doesn’t really extend into a cozy warm space for dining. Giant pile of flattened boxes in front spilling into the sidewalk. I know it’s hard to get good employees these days but was disappointed that the kids working the counter forgot my order altogether. There needs to be some supervision for customer service. If you leave a diner (prepaid order) sitting there for 45 minutes with no food, it’s not good customer service to say first: “I didn’t even know you had a food order!” And then second: “Well now do you want it to go???” (I’m supposed to eat my lunch running down the street, what?) How about profuse apologies and maybe a free coffee or dessert to make up for it? Seriously. Also, because they rushed to get it out, I’m pretty sure the sandwich was not what it was meant to be. Anyway. Probably won’t be back.

This is the absolute best spot for real food in the whole county. I’ve been coming to this place since it opened and since then it gets better and better. They really care about the people and the food they serve. Everything is made with love and you can taste it. Big shout out to Jordan and everyone else who keep this gem running. ❤️❤️❤️

Great coffee and pastries. Everything is organic / vegan / gluten free, and tastes great. The chickpea frittata and the avocado toast were also very tasty and come with their own pickles. They also have a little shop with pickles, jams, spritzers, etc. Definitely worth a stop for coffee, breakfast, or lunch!

We came here to grab some breakfast before going to the Aquarium and were so happy that we did. Had the avocado toast, chickpea frittata, and the scone of the day (cranberry orange). All were fantastic, and the prices were quite reasonable, especially in relation to the quality of the food. I loved the food so much that I came back the next morning for a cappuccino (great) and granola with their homemade yogurt. Highly recommendVegetarian options: A perfect restaurant for vegetarians or people who tend that direction

Great place for your baking goods also for pickup a salad for a picnic. You really need to come earlier for the frittata. Great cup of coffee.

Definitely happy place for the family. Good coffee with an amazing selection of wholesome food. The bake goods are in season and delicious. I like the new gluten free selection and the menu is “farm to table” minded. I miss the fall apple cider pressing.

I got the avocado toast and my wife got the sandwich of the day. Awesome yo find high quality vegan food (with gluten free options). Plus, offers a cannery with pickled vegetables. Very cool unique vibe right next to the beach!

A wonderful space for relaxing and enjoying good and delicious food. I think this café is very special in design and the little shop next to the bar offers nice little things which you want to call your own.

This place is a gem. The food is delicious, the canned specialty jams, butters, pickled veggies, sauces, and mixers are unique and incomparably tasty, the bread is fresh and delicious, and the kombucha on tap is a special treat. I loved the avocado toast (ask to add tomato - it's worth it) and the daily bowl (it was quinoa with white beans and corn with a green sort of chimichurri sauce). I would have bought 6 loaves of their house made sourdough if it was for sale. It was also a great place to grab some jams and canned goods. I will be visiting every time I am in the area as long as it's there!

I got the pickle and cheese board, what a fun dish! Came with a variety of pickled veggies, cheese, and a couple different types of crackers. I also had a latte, it was great and they even had cinnamon for me to dash on top. Outdoor seating is wonderful for a perfect 65 and sunny day. I will definitely stop by again when in the area!

Amazing avocado toast and good coffee. Friendly service, wifi and a nice patio. Very close to the water which is a nice perk if you want a coffee to go and walk along the shore with it.

This place is lovely and has great vegetarian food. The sandwich I had was delicious and the lentil soup was comforting on a breezy day out.I also tried the fried rice bowl, but it wasn’t really great fried rice… it was too sweet and wasn’t authentic, which makes sense, but maybe call it something else.But, everything else about this place was perfect! The protein balls were yummy and I wish I tried more of their desserts!!

Nice cozy place offering many gluten free options, not catering to low carb and keto options though. They offer a daily soup and meal special, which was small but good. Aside from that, they offer kombucha and fermentation classes. Hoping for more keto friendly options in the future.

It's a sick joke that you can ship items from Happy Girl to any location in the country because I would be lying if I didn't admit to at least teasing the idea of shipping some of their jam cookies across two states. I'm just not confident they will arrive in an appetizing form. However, their jams, house-made marinaras and sauces, should all keep via postage. Happy Girl Kitchen is a wonderful, definitively tasty experience.
